Mumbai: Pravin Mahajan, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his brother BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, died at a hospital in Thane on Wednesday after a prolonged illness.
He was admitted a hospital on December 11 last year after complaining of high blood pressure and later slipped into coma.
IANS reports Pravin had been put on life support system and was struggling for life but failed to recover at the Jupiter Hospital where he was admitted, a close aide of the family said.
Hospital authorities did not issue any official word on the developments and most family members also declined to comment.
In a dramatic murder that shocked the country, Pravin shot Pramod on April 22, 2006 in his Mumbai home. The high-profile BJP leader succumbed to his wounds 11 days later on May 3.
Pravin Mahajan was sentenced to life by a sessions court for fratricide on December 18, 2007. He was on parole when he suffered the stroke and was hospitalised.
